Monday, December 7 - Our young women have been doing a "Light the Ward" all month and it has been so great! Today, they went and decorated the doors of two of the girls in their class. I'm so glad they are having so much fun!
Tuesday, December 8 - Today, the girls took care packages to all the healthcare workers in our ward to say thank you for all they are doing during this horrible pandemic. We have several in our ward and they are true heroes!
Wednesday, December 9 - This was a day of ups and downs. Well, only one down. I have been having some weird pain and tooth fragments coming out of my sore gums where I had my tooth extracted. I went in to see what was going on, fully expecting them to poke around with a tool for a minute and be fine. Ummm, no. They did a surgery! They numbed me, pulled back the gums to expose my bone, removed a bone spur, smoothed the bone back out, then sewed my gums back down. I was not expecting that! Haha! For the ups though, while I was driving to the dentist, I got a call from Kendra's school telling me that she was chosen as "Student of the Day" for the school today! YAY! Then, after my appointment, I went out to Ashley's house to paint her nails before baby girl gets here. I also got to do sweet Ruby's nails. It was so much fun being there with them today. Despite the dentist, it was such a great day!
Thursday, December 10 - It was time for our annual Knotted Fern Melting Pot Christmas Party! I can't believe that Liz treats us to such a wonderful dinner! We have so much fun visiting, relaxing, enjoying the food, and just being together. In this picture are Sarah (accounting), Jen (seamstress), Megan (marketing), Liz (boss), Marisa, and I. :) It was a truly enjoyable evening!
Friday, December 11 - Kendra needed to make a treat for a Young Women's meeting tomorrow so we made double chocolate cake mix cookies with peppermint buttercream frosting. These girls love to bake! Well, Kendra loves to bake then Ricki likes to taste what she bakes and "decorate" a cookie herself. Love my girls!
Saturday, December 12 - We took the kids on a long adventure today. We drove up to Woods Cross to pick up our beautiful new picture of Christ from the artist. I LOVE it!! While we were out, we stopped at a few stores and when it got dark, we drove around to a bunch of houses and streets with Christmas lights. We even went to one that gave out bags with coloring books, crayons, and candy canes. Some people are so creative and generous!
Sunday, December 13 - I have been working on getting these ornaments ready to take around to our neighbors. I made about 24 for Jenni and about 30 for myself to take around. They are one-star 2020 ornaments because let's be honest, I do not recommend 2020! :)
